Donald Trump Inaugurated as 47th President of the United States

The ceremony marks the start of Trump's second term, with promises of sweeping executive actions and a controversial guest list.

  • Donald Trump, at 78 years old, becomes the oldest U.S. president to be inaugurated and the first to serve non-consecutive terms since Grover Cleveland.
  • Security for the event was unprecedented, with 25,000 personnel deployed following two assassination attempts during his campaign.
  • The ceremony, moved indoors due to extreme cold, featured a guest list including tech magnates like Elon Musk and Jeff Bezos, as well as far-right political figures from Europe.
  • Trump's administration plans immediate executive actions on immigration, environmental deregulation, and pardons for January 6th Capitol rioters.
  • International reactions to Trump's return are mixed, with concerns over his policies on immigration, trade, and climate agreements, particularly in Africa and Europe.
